Café-Restaurant Amsterdam B.V.

What Café-Restaurant Amsterdam B.V. does

Café-Restaurant Amsterdam B.V. is a privately held Dutch single-location full-service restaurant operating from a converted 1897-1900 industrial pumping station (Machinepompgebouw) at Watertorenplein 6 in the Westerpark area of Amsterdam. Established on 20 December 1996, the business preserves heritage features of the original engine room—including diesel motors, underground water reservoirs, and stadium lighting from De Meer and Olympisch Stadion—as part of its dining ambiance. The company is registered as a B.V. (Besloten Vennootschap, Dutch private limited company) with KvK Amsterdam under number 33282427 and employs approximately 35 staff.

The restaurant generates revenue exclusively from on-premises food and beverage sales, with no delivery or takeaway service. Its product offering centers on French-inspired seasonal menus spanning breakfast/lunch (10:00-15:00) and dinner (17:00-22:00), complemented by a curated wine list with a premium "Schatkaart" (Treasure Map) collection, craft and classic beers, signature cocktails, a Fruits de Mer seafood platter, vegan and allergen-specific menus, a children's menu, and dedicated group menus for parties of 13 or more. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through physical dine-in service, with online reservations via the Tebi third-party platform for groups up to 6, phone reservations for groups of 7-15, and walk-in access to terrace seating (no terrace reservations accepted). Payment is PIN-only.

The technology stack is standard hospitality SaaS: Google Analytics, Google reCAPTCHA, and the Tebi reservation widget, with no proprietary platform or mobile app. Marketing is limited to the official website (cradam.nl), an Instagram brand channel, and PDF menu distribution. Operating hours are 10:00 to 24:00 daily, extended to 01:00 on Fridays and Saturdays. Capacity is physically constrained—maximum group size is 15, reduced to 7 during the summer low-staffing period—constraining any near-term scale-up absent a second location or format change.
